Advice
"I heard that you are a very succesful lawyer." Said the woman.
"Yes I am. By the way you are?" Asked Van since he had no idea who they were.
"I'm George Bond and this is my wife Karla." Said George.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Kathy and this is my husband Jack." Said Fiona. It made her happy to say that Van is her husband for some reason.
"Such a beautiful woman you have Jack." Said George. Both Van and Fiona blushed.
"How cute. You make such a wonderful couple." Said Karla.
"Thank you Mrs. Bond." Said Fiona who was still blushing.
"When you two have children their going to be so beautiful." Said Karla with dreamy eyes.
That only made Van and Fiona's faces redder.
"Actually we're going to wait for that." Said Van with a nervous laugh.
"You shouldn't wait. You two are young now it's the time to have children." Insisted Karla.
"Now honey leave this two alone. They'll have kids, but when they want to." Said George.
Van was feeling that his temperature was rising. He didn't know why, but being so close to Fiona was making him nervous.
"Would you like to join us in our table?" Asked George.
"We would love to habe you two eating with us." Said Karla who stopped insisting on the children subject.
"Sure, our pleasure." Said Fiona. Van and Fiona followed George and Karla to their table.
"How long have you two been married?" Asked Karla once they were seated.
"A year." Both Van and Fiona answered at the same time.
"The first years of marrige are always the best." Said Karla. "George and I have been married for 40 years. In the begining marrage can be so surprising, but after so many years of marrige it can become a routine." Said Karla with a sigh.
"Oh Karla stop saying things like that. Don't ruin the dinner by such conversation. Besides we don't want these new love birds to think that there marrige will be like ours." Said George who didn't like this conversation.
"Well I was just saying. I dind't say that they were going to end like us." Said Karla who was getting annoyed at her husband.
Both Van and Fiona stayed silent. They really didn't know what to say.
"I know you didn't exactly say it, but it almost sounde like it." Said George now that he was mad at his wife.
"Well I just didn't want them to end up like us. If someone would of given me some advice like this then believe me that I wouldn'thave ended up like this." Said Karla is in such a harsh tone.
"I think we should better leave." Said Fiona. She felt bad about what was happening.
"You're right." Said Van who didn't want to hear any more of this.
"But why?" Asked Kathy a bit sad.
Van looked at them shocked. /Why? Because you two are driving us nuts!/
"Well we need to do somethings." Lied Fiona who wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Both Van and Fiona got up and quickly left George and Karla's table.
"How rude of these two." Said George annoyed.
"I agree with you.We invite them to eat with us and they leave all of the sudden." Said Karla who was also annoyed.
"Let's see if we ever invite them to eat with us again." Said George.

"One more minute there and I would of burst out laughing." Said Van who was realived of not being with the elder couple anymore.
"It's not funny Van. Those two were having a serious fight." Said Fiona upset.
"Don't get mad at me. I just couldn't help it." Said Van a bit more serious now. They were both now on an empty hallway.
"I hate it when people fight." Said Fiona upset. Van didn't like to see her upset. He gave Fiona a hug. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset." Said Van as he held her.
"It's ok. I know you didn't do it on purpose." Said Fiona. She liked the way Van was holding. She always felt save in his arms.
Suddenly a person approuched them. Both Van and Fiona quickly separated.
"Oh Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, I'm sorry I didn't want to interrup you." Said James with a smile.
"Ah it's ok." Said Van.
"Have you two eaten dinner yet?" Asked James. Van and Fiona just realized that they hadn't.
"No we haven't." Said Fiona.
"Would you like to join me?" Asked James.
Van and Fiona thought about it.
"Sure." Said Van. /Maybe this will be our chance./

"Have you recieve any messege from Van yet?" Asked Crougar.
"No we haven't." Said Irvine. "Are you sure that it was alright to send them alone?"
"I trust them. Van is strong and can protect himself. Its true that he is har headed, but that is why Fiona is there. If something goes wrong I'm sure she will be able to resolve it." Said Crougar confident of all he was saying.
"I know that, but that guy James Price his a killer. What if he decides that his next target would be Fiona?" Asked a worried Irvine.
"I'm thinking of doing a bit of chnages in this mission." Said Crougar. "Soon you'll know what it is."
Irvine just stood there thinking what it could be.

Van, Fiona, and James were eating dinner. They all had finished eating dinner.
"Mr. Edwards since you are a lawyer I wanted to ask you somethings about a buisness of mine." Said James.
Van became a bit nervous. /Oh great. Now what am I going to do?/
"I don't mean to interrup, but Jack promised me to show me the ship." Said Fiona so Van wouldn't have to stay.
"But it's night right now." Said James, thinking that it was a bit odd.
"I know, but I still want to look around." Insisted Fiona.
"I'm sorry, but I did promise her." Said Van thankful for Fiona's idea.
"Well then I'll leave you two alone." Said James with a smile. He got up and left.
"Thanks Fiona. Now I need to study some things about what lawyers do." Said Van.
"Not yet. We're going to see this ship first." Said Fiona in a happy mood.
"I thought you just made that up." Said Van.
"No, I want to see it." Said Fiona as she fot up from her chair. "Come on." She grabbed Van's hand and pull him out if his chair.
******
James just watched as they left. /This is going to be a bit harder then I thought./ A frown appeared in his face.
"I don't care what it takes. I will have you." Said James and then he let out a small laugh.
